That very same computer could communicate flight plan to ground, store minute details of entire flight on hard disk and automatically move them to home computer for recap.... Glass panel systems are already on the market that have those capabilities today (except the "auto move" stuff), such as Dynon products: http://www.dynonavionics.com/ Whatever capabilities you think aren't there yet, you can rest assured that avionics makers are already working on fully integrated systems.

Some engines are also available with FADEC. These systems are massively expensive, and there is much redundancy. For example, the entire radio stack could be eliminated by a software radio, which controls fed through LCD monitor. That's already being done. I think you need to review what is already available. The software radi costs $1000. The computer would be one of same 2 computers used for other functions. The software development costs for such systems run into the millions of dollars but the number of unit sales is, at best, under a hundred thousand - I suspect more typically a few thousand units. Add in the hardware costs and such equipment can rarely be sold for under a couple thousand. |
